Abstract
Objective: to promote the self-care of recyclable material collectors through the application of the Theory of Self-Care Deficits.
Method: Convergent-Assistance Research conducted with recyclable materials collectorsfrom two recycling associations in Southern Brazil. The data was produced through participant observation, semi-structured interviews and convergence groups. The data was analyzed according to the steps proposed by the method: apprehension, synthesis, theorization, and transfer.
Results: the participants had deliberate actions undertaken and motivations for self-care. However, they presented deficits related mainly to habits that exposed them to occupational risks. In the supportive-educational group actions, participants discussed their self-care deficits and strategies to mitigate them. The research enabled changes in the work scenario; however, some self-care deficits persisted.
Conclusions and implications for the practice: it is pondered that profound changes require permanent actions for transformations in social inequities. However, the supportive-education nursing system enabled positive changes in the recyclable materials collectors' self-care, which corroborates the theoretical-practical contribution of the theory to nursing care.

Resumo
Objetivo: promover o autocuidado de catadores de material reciclável a partir da aplicação da Teoria dos Déficits de Autocuidado.
Método: Pesquisa Convergente-Assistencial realizada com catadores de material reciclável de duas associações de reciclagem do Sul do Brasil. Os dados foram produzidos por meio de observação participante, entrevistas semiestruturadas e grupos de convergência. Os dados foram analisados segundo os passos propostos pelo método: apreensão, síntese, teorização e transferência.
Resultados: os participantes possuíam ações deliberadamente empreendidas e motivações para o autocuidado. No entanto, apresentaram déficits relacionados, principalmente, a hábitos que os expunham aos riscos ocupacionais. Nas ações grupais de apoio-educação, os participantes discutiram seus déficits de autocuidado e estratégias para mitigá-los. A pesquisa possibilitou mudanças no cenário laboral, no entanto, alguns déficits de autocuidado persistiram.
Conclusões e implicações para a prática: pondera-se que mudanças profundas exigem ações permanentes para transformações das iniquidades sociais. No entanto, o Sistema de Enfermagem apoio-educação possibilitou mudanças positivas no autocuidado dos catadores, o que corrobora a contribuição teórico-prática da teoria para o cuidado de Enfermagem.
